Spherical regression using the ESAG distribution: Spherical regression using the ESAG distribution

Description

Spherical regression using the ESAG distribution.

Usage

esag.reg(y, x, con = TRUE, xnew = NULL, lati = 10, longi = 10, tol = 1e-06)

Value

A list including:

loglik

The log-likelihood of the regression model.

param

A vector with three numbers. A measure of fit of the estimated values, defined as \(\sum_{i=1}^ny_i^T\hat{y}_i\). This appears if the argument "xnew" is NULL. The \(\rho \in (0,1]\) (smallest eigenvalue of the covariance matrix)), and the angle of rotation \(psi\).

gam

The two \(\gamma\) parameters.

beta

The beta coefficients.

seb

The standard error of the beta coefficients.

est

The fitted values of xnew if "xnew" is NULL. If it is not NULL, the fitted values for the "xnew" you supplied will be returned.

Arguments

y

A matrix with 3 columns containing the (unit vector) spherical data.

x

The predictor variable(s), they can be continnuous, spherical, categorical or a mix of them.

con

Do you want the constant term in the regression?

xnew

If you have new data use it, otherwise leave it NULL.

lati

A positive number determing the range of degrees to move left and right from the latitude center. This number and the next determine the grid of points to search for the Q matrix described in Paine et al. (2020).

longi

A positive number determing the range of degrees to move up and down from the longitude center. This number and the previous determine the grid of points to search for the Q matrix described in Paine et al. (2020).

tol

A tolerance value to decide when to stop the successive optimizations.

Examples

y <- resag( 25, rnorm(3), c(1, 1) )
## this is a small example to pass CRAN's check because the default argument values
## of lati and longi require many seconds
a <- esag.reg(y, iris[1:25, 4], lati = 2, longi = 2)
